Hi Everyone!
Last week I went out with friends in Jerusalem and I took
with me my new Canon camera.
While we were walking down Yaffo street,
the light rail train passed us.
I took a short video of it and posted at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhzsOVV9uzI
One day (maybe August 2011) I will get to make a video
riding the train.
-------------------------------------------------------
Newly-arrived in Israel British rapper 'Antithesis' performed
at the kick-off event of the A.H.A.V.A Read-a-thon.
I took photos (with the old camera) of the event and
posted them online at:
http://www.jr.co.il/ma/pic/2011/ma553.htm

Len Lesser who was "Uncle Leo" on Seinfeld passed away this month.
I do not know the person that made this musical tribute,
but I thought it was worth passing on:
Seinfeld - "Uncle Leo" Lido Shuffle

This week I updated the Purim hotsites at:
http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hdaypu.htm
I started to add new Purim videos to:
http://www.jr.co.il/videos/purim-videos.htm
If you know of a new (5771-2011) good Purim video
that I do not have, please email me the Youtube address.
Thanks!

Tomorrow (March 1), I plan to launch the Annual CJI Salary Survey.
Like last year, I will be collecting data via an online form but
to avoid duplicates and insure validity, you will need to email
the answer string to me. Please read the instructions carefully
when I send them out. The survey will last 10 days (March 1 -10).
Anyone working (now) in the computer field or electronics field
in Israel may fill in the form and take part in the survey.
The online form creates a 52 character string which needs to be
copied to the subject of a blank email message and sent to
me at: jrichman@jr.co.il
(Thanks YS for the form programming)
Please do not send to the CJI addresses. It gives me more work.
Only emails with a valid string in the subject will be processed.
If you have questions or comments, please send them in a separate
email with the subject:
questions /coments about the survey
The string you will be sending (via the email subject) is
52 characters. (including the leading "CJISS:")
A sample string (fake answers, do not email it!! ):
CJISS:TAM1984RU18-29Y04NNY24YYY6-9NN045Y15200S100N45
In the past several people emailed this fake string.
PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL THE STRING ABOVE.
The survey form web address (to create your string) will be
emailed to you tomorrow.
Please do not edit the string. The bad string is rejected and
I need to email you for clarifications. Thanks!
All information sent to me is confidential.
No personal information is given to anyone.
People have asked me for raw data in the past but the answer
is always no.
The original name and address is deleted after the data is
extracted. I require the email to avoid duplicate entries and
non-Israel entries and to contact you if there are data problems.
If you joined the CJI mailing list this year, ask your friends
that took the survey last year - all information sent to me is
confidential.
Please answer all questions honestly so everyone can benefit.
Garbage in = Garbage out.
Results of the CJI survey will be posted on the CJI site.
If all goes well (and B"H) the results should be ready before
March 18 (12 of Adar - my father's Yahrzeit)
When the results are posted I will post the announcement
on the CJI Facebook page and email it to the list.
Watch your email inbox tomorrow. Please take the survey
and email the results as soon as possible. Thanks!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I know, same instructions as last year.
Why mess with something that works :-)
Time for the jobs....
Have a good night,
Jacob
